LSU has some interest in Greg Robinson

Syracuse, NY -- LSU football coach Les Miles has apparently inquired about bringing former Syracuse coach Greg Robinson to Baton Rouge as his defensive coordinator.

Contacted Thursday night, Robinson did not deny the contact about the LSU job, though he said the information might be "reaching a little bit." He said he's weighing all his options.

"I don't see myself having the ability to do something right now," Robinson said. "First of all, I want to continue to work on our coaches to help them (find new jobs). Secondly, I have to weigh all my options. That's going to take some time."

LSU had some defensive issues this past season after losing defensive coordinator Bo Pelini to Nebraska following the 2007 season. Under co-defensive coordinators Doug Mallory and Bradley Dale Peveto, the Tigers finished 37th nationally in total defense and 66th in scoring defense. In 2007 under Pelini, LSU was third in total defense and 17th in scoring defense.

Robinson indicated he's received other coaching inquiries. He said there have "been some calls about certain things. I'm not in a position at this time to make a decision."

At the same time, he said he is putting his own professional opportunities on hold, which "might remove me from some situations, possibly," he said. "That's where I'm at."
